A new sponsor has been unveiled at a prime site in the town as part of Shrewsbury in Bloom’s scheme to maintain its reputation as the “Town of Flowers”.
Bellway Homes Limited (West Midlands) is the new sponsor of the main flower bed at the entrance to Shrewsbury’s award-winning Quarry park.
Marie Richards, sales director of Bellway Homes Limited (West Midlands), said: “We are proud to be associated with the great floral traditions of Shrewsbury and feel that this is a wonderful way of showing our support to help make the town look its best for its residents and visitors.
“With two major developments under construction in the town at the former Copthorne Barracks to the north and the other on Oteley Road to the south of Shrewsbury, we are keen to invest in schemes that put something back in to the community in which our residents will live, thereby enhancing the local environment.
“We look forward to a long and productive relationship with both Shrewsbury in Bloom and Shrewsbury Town Council.”
Bellway Homes Limited (West Midlands) is the latest business to join the sponsorship scheme, which sees businesses benefitting from increased advertising whilst also providing Shrewsbury Town Council with additional income to help finance the floral features and bedding displays around the town each year.
Councillor Keith Roberts, chairman of Shrewsbury in Bloom, added: “I am delighted that Bellway Homes Limited here in the West Midlands is the latest company to join our Shrewsbury in Bloom sponsorship scheme. Our business sponsors help the Town Council to provide the vibrant floral displays we see throughout the town each year and we appreciate their continued support to help bring that ‘feel good’ factor to Shrewsbury.”
